Torque Metals (ASX:TOR) said it identified high-grade gold mineralization during recent drilling at its Paris gold project in the Kalgoorlie South region of Western Australia, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.

The results were of up to 1.4 meters at 32.33 grams per tonne gold from 506.9 meters down-hole, including 0.4 meters at 103 grams per tonne gold.

Diamond drilling at Paris continues to define the high-grade domain boundaries in the Paris Lower 2 zone, making for a more robust resource as well as enhancing knowledge of the Paris orebody at depth, according to the filing.

An interim mineral resource estimate update for the Paris gold project remains on track for release in the second quarter, the filing added.
